What the creator captured
Travel Channel's Anthony was appalled by the disconnect between the Penguin Hotel's prime Ocean Drive location and its lack of basic cleanliness. He discovered severe hygiene issues including pubic hair in beds and black mold in bathrooms, which the owners were largely ignoring. His primary takeaway was that the management's failure to supervise housekeeping and monitor online reviews was leading the business toward failure.
